4 The stranger asked, Where did you put the body of this man from Galilee? where is his tomb?
5 The Jews replied, We do not know. His followers came at night and stole the body from the tomb in which it lay and carried it away, and then declared that he had risen from the dead.
6 The stranger asked, How do you know that his disciples stole the body from the tomb? was any one a witness of the theft?
7 The Jews replied, We had a hundred soldiers at the place, and every one of them declares that his disciples stole the body from the tomb.
8 The stranger asked, Will any one of all your hundred men stand forth and say, I saw the body stolen from the tomb?
9 The Jews replied, We do not know; these men are men of truth; we cannot doubt their word.
10 The stranger said, You priests and scribes and Pharisees hear me: I was a witness of the facts, was in the garden of Siloam, and stood among your hundred men.
11 And this I know that not a man among your hundred men, will say, I saw the body stolen from the tomb.
12 And I will testify before the God of heaven and earth, The body was not stolen from the tomb; the man from Galilee is risen from the dead.
13 And then the priests and scribes and Pharisees rushed up to seize the man and cast him out.
